Controls the on-screen display aspect ratio when the display device is connected to a Main Zone S-video output connector. Aspect ratio refers to the size of the picture or the display device screen. A 4:3 aspect ratio is almost square. A 16:9 aspect ratio, often referred to as widescreen, is almost twice as wide as high.

When ON is selected, the on-screen display appears in a 4:3 aspect ratio regardless of the incoming video input signal. When OFF is selected, the on-screen display appears in the same aspect ratio as the incoming video input signal.

Note:

When a 16:9 (widescreen) display device is connected to a Main Zone S-video output connector, the on-screen display will appear horizontally stretched across the display device screen if the S-VIDEO OSD 4:3 parameter is set to OFF and an anamorphic video input signal is present.

Controls the appearance of the on-screen display when the display device is connected to the Main Zone component video output connector. When ON is selected, the on-screen display appears as a 480i video input signal on a full blue-screen background. To minimize viewing distractions, the two-line status does not appear on the on-screen display. When OFF is selected, the on-screen display – including the two-line status – is not available.

Note:

When the display device is connected to the Main Zone component video output connector, the on-screen display automatically deactivates when the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu BACKGROUND parameter is set to OFF.
